AYST What's Happening With the Crime-ing? Episode 56 (10.16.2026)

Well, first up, segment two, The End of the World, part one.

Steve, are you seeing what's happening with the criming? Am I seeing this shit?

Yeah.

A little bit.

Good.

I got to say, I was a little...

While my in-laws were here, I was a little out of it, but also more into it than before, because... their favorite station is CNN.

Oh, and it's on all the time.

So it gets a little, it becomes white noise after a while.

It really does.

And it is, and it's so important to try and break past that white noise because especially now, you know, it's like, how do you take in when information is coming at you like a fire hose? How do you take it all in? And that's kind of actually speaks to what we're going to talk about.

At the end of last week's episode, I realized that we had like six corruption stories that we weren't going to talk about.

We end up talking about one or two of them.

But I guess I should have talked about them because this week Fox News came out with a poll that showed that 88 percent of U.S. voters voted.

say they are extremely or very concerned about corruption in government.

That beats every other issue that they asked about, including inflation.

Really? Yeah.

Wild, right?

That's good.

I mean, you would think so.

And given the stakes of the upcoming election, I thought, let's do a quick overview of those, of that, of that.

Let's look at some of the scandals that have broken over the last week and a half.

We're not going to go super in depth.

We're going to throw out sources so you can look them up if you want to.

But basically consider this the headlines you may have missed unless you were Steve and you were watching CNN nonstop.
